Should lawyers request an advanced payment when it comes to conveyancing in Olney?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Olney your solicitor will request that you put them with funds to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the conveyancing searches. If any down payment is as part of the total price then this will be needed immediately prior to contracts are exchanged. The closing balance that is needed will be payable shortly before completion.
It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Olney took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

My brother is purchasing a ground floor flat in Olney. He was given a quote by the conveyancing practitioner connected to the selling agents totaling £1385 . It was ten years ago I sold and purchased a home and the bill was £600. Have costs really gone up that much?
What does the conveyancing estimate include? Is it just for the legal fees, or what you will be paying in total (for instance Olney searches, land registry fees, etc)
